Advanced Pre-Clinical Imaging for Basic and Pharmaceutical Research

Fall 2015, TBD

Pre-clinical studies can play a vital role in testing potential therapies, aiding in drug discovery and helping to increase the range of potential experimental manipulations that can be performed to address any number of questions. This course will provide an overview of the problems and techniques that can be used for pre-clinical imaging studies targeted towards pharmacology and the pharmaceutical industry. The course is targeted towards those who would like to better understand the issues and novel imaging technologies that can be applied to help solve a wide-range of important problems covering many different applications. The course is targeted towards an audience with some general understanding of imaging technologies and what problems can be addressed with these tools.

Technologies to be covered: Due to the two-day format we will only be covering Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET).
